Sigh, Rita. These days they always tell you one thing on the phone & then when the techs get there to actually do the work, you find out it's not like what they told you on the phone. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I'm sure it will all eventually get worked out & be fine but WHY don't they get their act together & let you know in the first place? You (we all) would most likely make the change anyway BUT WE JUST WANT TO KNOW IN ADVANCE HOW IT'S GOING TO BE DONE, HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE, AND IF IT WILL ALL GO DOWN AT ONE TIME WITH ONE VISIT TO YOUR HOME!!!! What if you counted on what they told you & were leaving on a 2 week vacation today? Then it couldn't get all done until you got back from vacation.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others.

with Ann, and nothing aggravates me more than the lack of, or poor, communication, in general!!

Rita, I hope things straighten out very, very soon!

So, Ginny, did you say that you're waiting on Santa?? He's at my house, dropping off the big ticket presents!

He said he'll be right over after his elves are done setting up a few things here!! 😜

Wow! It's like Christmas around here!!

Friends, I'm asking if you'll help spread the word about our two kittens up for adoption, on Rescue Me.org. Perhaps you know somebody who lives in Ohio/nearby or is willing to make a very long drive from a state or two away, for a new pet (or two ).

Well, I have to get on the phone to try and straighten things out. That was my issue with Earthlink, always on the phone with tech support.

I don't know how many times I told the rep that signed me up that I wanted them to come and do everything. Oh yes, no going home till its totally done. Don't worry about a thing. HA!!!!!

I find change very stressful, I am still stressed out from yesterday. First tech arrived just after 1;30. Had to go home at 5 and left and another tech arrived. Eventually still another came to help him. They finially left at 9:45. I think if someone had told me how long it would take before I signed up that I would have said forget it. And bottom line they will still have to come back.

They couldn't get the e-mail address issue straightened out because by that time there was no one in that office to help them.

Hang in there Rita. You're now in that half way across the bridge position.

oh i have no intention of switching back to cablevision. i love the new interent and the new service. i also love the way the tv stuff works on fios.

i am typng all in lower case as i am on hold with earthlink. cancelled my stuff but now she wanted to know if i wanted to keep my earthlink e-mail address. well, yes i would but i no longer want the bill thank you. so for 4.95 in can have e-mail only and keep my earthlink e-mail address. so that is what i am doing. silly woman said she will send me a label to send back my modom. which is what i thought they would say.

i have to take back my cable boxes and remotes and straighten out my last bill with cablevision but i don't feel up to it today. maybe i will get better. but i doubt it as my next call will be to see if i can get the verizone-mail address straightened out and i also have to call my rep and see if i can get the phone problems resolved. Fios still does show me as triple play. i guess thats good and bad cause as the tech said my dial tone will go away and i won't be calling anyone.

so after getting off with earthlink i immediately called verizon. been on with them now for near an hour trying to get this resolved. issue is phone is not tied to fios tv account. i have another install appoinment now for friday. geez.

on hold while she trys to do something again. and i called about the e-mail addy and we still havenent gotten to that.

Been on still with the first rep, ended up calling my rep that signed me up and then back to verizon tech support again. Just got off phone.

Bottom line I STILL do not have my @verizon.net internet address. They showed me the chat window said chat would fix it. I don't have any more patience for getting on with another rep.. I need a stiff drink!!

I recommend anyone thinking of signing up with Fois make sure they don't go thru this!!

At least Friday they will come and run the last of the needed wires and move my phone. And then I should actually have the triple play I am supposed to have.

quietyard said: No probably not. Did you miss your walk today because of this???

I tried going for a walk late because of this. Perfect ending for this crappy day, the heavens opened up and it's pouring. We had to walk home in the pouring rain. Lily is soaked and so am I. At least it was warm out. And of course we ended up with only a short walk.

Rita it sounds like you could use a after the crappy day you had. Hate being on the phone with tech support when trying to explain what is going on they seem absolutely dense and untrained in how to quickly resolve problems.

If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden!
Faith is the postage stamp on our prayers!
